Outbox pattern reliable publish in Python with SQLite
Implements a transactional outbox with SQLite, ensuring reliable message publishing by storing events in the same DB transaction as business changes.
import sqlite3
from contextlib import contextmanager
from datetime import datetime, timezone
class Outbox:
def __init__(self, db_path=":memory:"):
self.conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
self.conn.execute("""

A Python implementation of the transactional outbox pattern using SQLite, ensuring atomic writes of order data and outbox events in a single transaction while supporting reliable message publishing and consumption.
